From the first one-day festival in 2008 in Tribeca Cinemas NYC, which presented several short documentaries on Russian immigration, this project has grown to become a well-known three-day annual international film festival, showing a unique collection of highly-professional independent documentaries never before shown in the US. The RusDocFilmFest-3W presents documentaries created all over the world, including those made in Russia and by the multi-ethnic Russian-speaking Diaspora, and represents a vast variety of film-schools, styles, and aesthetics.
